Re: Plusnet IRC Server

The IRC server is unofficial, I set it up at the suggestion of a couple of the Plusnet staff over seven (!!) years ago.IP access restrictions exist but these access restrictions are controlled by the Network Team at Plusnet, so one of the Digital Care Team would need to speak to them about it.

The IRC is restricted due to previous abuse IIRC. I dont expect that to change.

Nothing of the sort, although I do agree that I don't expect it to change. It was restricted because that was the wish at the time... I can't speak for those involved (and I don't think any of them work for Plusnet any more) but they must have had their reasons. If I was privy to the reasons at the time, I can't find them in my email archive.
